The High Magazine Round

It’s a constant theme here, I know, but it’s just too good to pass up. We’ve discussed:
High Magazine Clips And The Shoulder Thing That Goes Up
Automatic Bullets In Rapid Fire Magazine Clips
And last but not least, The Fully Loaded Ammunition Cartridge. Today Bloomberg has an otherwise fairly decent article on arms makers leaving the Northeast for the South (which they should certainly do, including S&W). They state:
Sturm Ruger, based in Southport, Connecticut, doesn’t produce the large capacity magazines the state outlawed, the kind of ammunition that was used in the Sandy Hook shooting when 26 students and teachers were killed. But the law heralded the departure of small arms manufacturers Stag Arms LLC and PTR Industries, both of which relocated to Southern states.
Except this isn’t how it read when it was posted. It was cached by Google with the following version:
Sturm Ruger, based in Southport, Connecticut, doesn’t produce the high magazine rounds the state outlawed, the kind of ammunition that was used in the Sandy Hook shooting when 26 students and teachers were killed. But the law heralded the departure of small arms manufacturers Stag Arms LLC and PTR Industries, both of which relocated to Southern states.
So there you have it. The “high magazine round.” You’re welcome. I’m here to serve.

– Even in the “corrected” version, magazines aren’t a “kind of ammunition.” Jeez.

If they replace the comma with an or it would make some kind of sense. I blame liberal jouralists that then become editors. That and the teachers who taught them basic english.

the ‘teachers’ who taught them were, no doubt faithful followers of brother Saul…
“Social Progressives” all…
The kind our parents fought in Ko-Reeeah and in the “Cold War” Commies.

Ruger doesn’t produce 20 and 30 round mags for the Mini-14, and double-stack magazines in various types and configurations for all the P-series and SR-series service pistols they sell? They don’t manufacture a 25-round mag for the 10/22 in-house? News to me.
Basically, the prior version of the article was so incoherent as to be meaningless noise, and the current version is factually false? I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.

My favorite firearms and ammunition gaffe machine is Kevin de Leon, soon to be head man in the California State Senate. In pushing one of his many new gun laws, he referred to ‘ghost guns’, and said “This right here has the bility with a .30 caliber clip to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second. A 30 magazine clip in a half a second.”
